Wat een mooi begin van het jaar! De eerste maand is alweer voorbij en het was een prachtmaand. De winter zet hier niet echt door dit jaar (wat me een beetje zorgen baart..), ik deed prachtige dingen in mijn yogastudio en we hadden veel tijd met het gezin. Lees je mee?

Lekker veel yoga bij Sanga Yoga

We begonnen het nieuwe jaar met veel nieuwe klassen.

Een drukke, maar zonnige maand

Er waren veel grote businessbeslissingen te nemen deze maand, maar gelukkig bracht ik ook veel tijd buiten door.

And then I realized I forgot to listen. My moon flow started, but I kept rushing. From work to family to social, and back to work. Today was supposed to be my day home with my sonshine, but I knew that, in order to protect myself – and him, I needed a day for myself.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So this morning, we had a slow start with painting, then he went to kindergarten, and I actually managed to finish a few work things. Now, I have an hour left for my practice. A gentle, restorative practice, focused on the womb. Just for me and my moon flow.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📸 by @theresaharmanen 💛 ⁠⠀ #feminineyoga #fertilityyoga #menstruation #menstruasjon #hormoneyoga #hormonalbalance #fertilityjourney #infertility #fertility #fertilitet #restorativeyoga #yoganidra #empowered #healing #kvinnehelse #moontime #moonflow #ongesteld #cycleday3

Foto’s op de Opera

Op een zonnige zondag gingen we naar de Opera voor mooie foto’s op het dak. Sven deed ook even mee ;)

My son reminded me that we mamas are so damn special. This morning, when the husband, Sven and I were walking together, he said: “We are 2 people and 1 mama”. 💛😅

Ik bracht wat fijne rituelen terug

Ik doe meer yoga, schrijf meer, adem meer.

Magical moments, early morning, keeping the sacred time of day for myself. ♥ When I roll out of bed, I quietly walk to the living room and sit down on our carpet, with a warm sweater one and my wool socks. I close my eyes, connect with my breathing, and let the thoughts come up and go. Sometimes I use a mantra, other times all I need is my breath. Sometimes I pray for guidance (I always thought praying was something you do to God, but I think it was @gabbybernstein that helped me see praying can be anything). ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I then roll out my mat, peel off my socks and sweater, and move. Eyes closed, letting my body guide me. Just for 15 minutes or so, enough to warm up my muscles and feel connected from head to toe. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Then, I grab my pen and journal. This year, I invested in a beautiful journal from @annietarasova (found at @leelayoga ) to guide my journaling and to grow my practice. I'm loving the reflection sections and intention setting has been very helpful. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ And when that's all done (this practices takes me about 30 minutes), I start the rest of the day. I prepare breakfast and lunch, get dressed and then I wake our little sonshine. Starting my day like this makes me feel like I'm one step ahead, and I can handle everything. ♥⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #practice #yogapractice #teachyoga #healing #journal #yearofgrowth #motherhood #momlife #bossmom #mompreneur #barselyoga #mamma #spiritjunkie #meditation #gratitude #writing #oslove #osloyogis ⁠⠀
